I am making an engagement cake this weekend and will be putting a daisy spray on the cake. I was wanting to try making mmf but need it to harden to put the spray on the cake. I have never had or tasted mmf. Is it a good idea to do for a daisy spray and does it harden at all? Also is it easy to color? Thanks.
It does harden over time, it does take a few days. You have to make mmf one day and let it sit for a day before using. I work with it alot, but I have never done a spray with it so I am not sure if it can be done on such short notice. I think you can add gum-tex to the pieces as you do them to help dry faster. Coloring is pretty easy, just a lot of kneading. I do little pieces at a time.
My experience has been that it does not ever fully dry. It will harden over several days. The thinner you roll out the fondant the better. For my liking I would not use it to make roses. It would take to long to dry. You can also mix with gumpaste and that will help alot.

I second that. MMF never dries. At least for me. I'm near the ocean so the air is always humid to begin with. But a rainstorm comes through, and the pieces just melt, even if they were hard to begin with.
I have much more success with commercial fondant and tylose (you could use wilton, no one will eat the flowers). GP doesn't even work for me. :'(
